As a former Springbok Sevens star, Andre Pretorius was deceptively quick for a flyhalf with an eye for the gap, great hands and a solid kicking game, which saw him play for a long time at the top. He was part of the RWC winning Springbok squad in 2007. At the end of the 2012-season, when he played for the Leopards, Pretorius was on 197 first class appearances.
